I bought these for a man's night league that plays on field turf. I usually wear regular molded studs, but am hoping these will help me avoid some post-game foot pain. I am a keeper, and like that these have treads that kind of wrap around the sole. I made a few practice cuts and dives, and I actually think it will be helpful. I also like the padded tongue - again, nice on the feet. I have not yet worn them in competition, but they seem to fit the bill. NOTE: Like most
soccer shoes, sizing is approximate at best. I usually wear a 10.5 or 11 in street shoes, but ended up with 12 in these. Truth be told, an 11.75 would be perfect, but until that is an option I will have to double sock it. Not a huge fan of the fluorescent colors, but really not much choice anymore and these are less obnoxious than most.
